Posting some pictures of the Restored year 2000 model 550 I bought along with 2006 NGCS (Now being restored by Sreejesh M P)

The jeep has been restored to its original specs with no modifications.
Tyres are resoled on the original sand cum Highway JK tyres.
The Canopy is a lousy fit from Mayapuri. Will have to do away with it after Registration.
The Registration formalities have been Completed and awaiting verification by Authorities. Tax and Registration Fees Rs.20512.00 + 6000.00 (Private Taxes)

The jeep has come out well jerrycan! In the third picture posted, looks like the jeep is tilting towards its left. Is it a problem with the ground level or front suspension or body or is it just me?

I noted that only while i was posting those pictures. There seems to be no problem with the suspension. Should be the Ground level. Further the front two tyres seems to be of slightly different sizes. The tyre on the left is ATF and the one on the right is JK. Both are Resoled.

Your Jeep looks Great Jerrycan.
Are the resoled tyres reliable for offroading. Sir, when you say engine rebuild, do we need to re bore the engine and use oversize pistons or do you just replace the rings.
Jess

Regarding the resole tyres, you should use the expertise of the gurus.
Rebuilding the 550 engine, does not involve any reboring. The sleeves, piston, piston rings, gudgeon pins, crank shaft main bearings were replaced. The head was surface ground, the valve and the valve guide seals were changed.

These are some pictures of the 2000 model 550 (bought along with NGCS) after restoration and registration. The pictures were shot during a test drive(On Road only ) on the Nilgiris between Kotagiri and Coonoor.

The jeep was delivered on 25th Dec 2012 after a full 4 months of bringing it from Avadi.

Any one good for me.

For al those who are intrested in bullet can we make a group and discuss with a agent who can bid for us.
